Firefox Version 63.0 (64-bit) Home build PC, 480GB SSD, 2 x 2TB HD's, 8GB Ram.
I have had problems with streaming Channel 4 TV UK for many years. I could only get it to work on Windows. Recently I have Dumped Window 10 - so slow - updates take all day. I now am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (using Linux since 2009)
Channel 4 say they Do Not support Linux ?
I have tried to install Adobe Flash Player, but does not seam to work or download. On Ch 4 web page I pressed Allow, but say that I should install Flash Player !
Please could anyone advice me what I can do, or what I have done wrong.
Regards, Richard.

when media starts playing on my computer without my consent, this should be considered a cybercime.
The only way for a video to start playing should be `right click -> play`
cut the nonsense with the *media.autoplay.enabled* switch. it doesnt work and it never will. as soon as the website uses any kind of scripting, this switch is ineffective.
which extension do i need to install to stop this autoplay nightmare forever?

When I right click, a left click is immediately fired which causes the first item to be selected. This is frustrating because the menu closes immediately.
Not sure what's going on. I tried downgrading Firefox and I tried a fresh profile. Nothing seemed to resolve this.
Initially I thought this was maybe a GTK3 issue, but I does not occur any other GTK3 application.
Any help?
Thank, Disco-Dave

How can I change the sizes of fonts and icons in the Menu and Toolbars?

I'm using Firefox 67.0 under MX Linux. My monitor is 25" with a resolution of 1920x1200. With this resolution, the text and icons in Firefox Menu and Toolbars are tiny and almost impossible to read. The Thunderbird add-on Theme and Font Size Changer works reasonably well for Thunderbird, so is there a corresponding add-on for Firefox?
I know that Firefox is largely developed by people who are volunteers, but it seems that a tool, as part of the basic Firefox program, should be available to make these changes without installing add-ons or modifying the code manually. Almost everyone needs to be able to tweak these things at one time or another.

I realize this may only be something cosmetic, but it is something that shouldn't happen. I've only noticed it in the past couple of days, since I upgraded to v47.0 (on a Slack64 v14.1 system). Everything, except that arrow, still seems to work as it always has. I'm not talking about the arrow on the "Downloads" button itself, but the animated arrow that shows a download has completed. It used to appear small, grow larger, and then disappear. Now, it does everything but disappear. Parts of it disappear if I hover over buttons it is covering. It disappears completely if I right click on the toolbar and select "Customize", or if I restart Firefox; I find both of those options to be a bit much.

I am a user that opens a lot of tabs at a time from any given page, and firefox will attempt to load them all at the same time. This chokes out my bandwidth or will give server side errors causing problems for both firefox, my router and even the visited websites.
I would like to see an about:config option that would allow a variable option to open the tabs up but keep them unloaded until n-tabs prior have finished being loaded.
This feature will greatly balance the network load, and improve firefox's performance.
Thank you.
P.S. An example of this can be found at the LONG outdated firefox addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/load-tabs-progressively/

I'm a fan of the new update as far as the backend is concerned, but I don't like the new Photon UI. Previously the buttons and tabs were three-dimensional and used my existing Oxygen theme; now they are flat, (in my opinion) ugly and use an independent set of Firefox themes. I've searched for ways to change this and found guides on how to change the Firefox theme and rearrange UI elements, but nothing on how to change their actual style.
I'd also appreciate it if we could restore the padding in the bookmarks toolbar; it's sort of unpleasantly cramped.

For a long time I have been using FF ESR in order to be able to use crucial add-ons like Tab Groups and Session Manager. But now suddenly FF ESR updated itself automatically to v.60.2.1esr (64-bit) without giving me any warning or choices and thus destroying all my many Tab Groups! I have heard that the add-on Simple Tab Groups can read the data format used by Tab Groups, but when I try to install it, I discover that it needs at least version v.62.0. What do I do now, to get all my tab groups back? This is getting quite overwhelming!
I feel as if Mozilla is trying to destroy my life! If I had known what I know now, then I would very seriously have tried to find an alternative to Firefox!
Addition!: I also have an instance of FF v.62.0 (64-bit) installed... where I use the add-on Panorama View (similar to Tab Groups)!

Linux/Xubuntu running Firefox 29.0 and Windows 7 running Firefox 29.0.1. I have spent the past couple of hours trying to get sync to work with no luck, trying everything I could find on this site, including the links to the instructions and the troublehooting, replies to questions, and even the video.
Am I right in assuming that because the Firebox versions don't match that sync won't work? Or is there yet something else that is the reason? Or can it be done, and I just haven't figured it out?
Thanks for your help.
